Sue's Saturday Suggestions #59

Boy
Nobody is the perennial new kid in school, the one few notice and nobody thinks
much about. He shows up in a new high school, in a new town, under a new name,
makes few friends and doesn't stay long. Just long enough for someone in his
new friend's family to die -- of "natural causes." Mission
accomplished, Boy Nobody disappears, and moves on to the next target.

When his own parents died of not-so-natural causes at the age of
eleven, Boy Nobody found himself under the control of The Program, a shadowy
government organization that uses brainwashed kids as counter-espionage
operatives. But somewhere, deep inside Boy Nobody, is somebody: the boy he once
was, the boy who wants normal things (like a real home, his parents back), a
boy who wants out. And he just might want those things badly enough to sabotage
The Program's next mission.

TWO MEN WHO HATE EACH OTHER. ONE IMPOSSIBLE MISSION.
A LEGEND IN THE MAKING.

A warrior with nothing to fight for is paired with a thieving
assassin with nothing to lose. Together they must steal a treasure that no one
can reach. The Crown Tower is the impregnable remains of the grandest fortress
ever built and home to the realm’s most valuable possessions. But it isn’t gold
or jewels the old wizard is after, and this prize can only be obtained by the
combined talents of two remarkable men. Now if Arcadias can just keep Hadrian
and Royce from killing each other, they just might succeed.
